““I got this wrong, and I take responsibility for that.””

No, Mark, you are making 11,000 other people take responsibility for that. You are taking no responsibility.

That’s a lot of work to still kill myself anyway.

Hoo boy. I don’t really want Shephard to return, as I’d prefer a new trilogy tread new ground instead of being focused on ‘hey, remember all of your friends from the good old days?’ The only scenario here that sounds appealing is the idea of Liara finding hints over her long lifespan that Shephard may not be gone, and…

and Musk himself has already used it to spread disinformation about the attack on Paul Pelosi.

Twitter is dead, it just doesn’t know it yet. I literally laughed that they’re begging people to come back. FUCK NO!

Not sure where the data is coming from, but it seems to be taking some demographic leaps with no sources, for example, dividing India from Asia to combine it with the Middle East, even though India is separated from the Middle East by two countries and 1,500 miles. Maybe they thought it would be harder to trust the…

Not quite what’s going on here, but thanks for your input.

Disappointing but not surprising coming from YoshiP, who has always done these weirdly rambling non-answers whenever this kind of topic has come up. He’s always struck me as someone whose main concern is avoiding “controversy” above all else, without ever giving any real thought to the consequences of using The Gamers…

Ultimately a consequence of lacking diversity in an RPG is it makes the game world feel very small.

I’ve been an easy mode gamer since I had a kid. I’m done with the “challenge”

I feel that if a game can’t deliver the same feelings to you on its easiest difficulty as it does its most challenging, then that’s a failure in design. Obviously a player will need to know what they want and how that matches with their abilities in a specific game, but developers need to be good about understanding…

I”m with you. I deal with enough frustration for 10-12 hours at work every day. Video games are my method to relax. If the game gets too frustrating, it’s not serving its purpose to me anymore.

And that’s nothing against the “Get gooder” crowd.  Some people play games for a challenge, and I appreciate that and am glad…

That’s something I do as when if I’m replaying a game I’ve beat before. Like, I just want to play through some of the cool story bits again real quick; I don’t want to spend hours grinding a boss or challenging section of something that I’d already beaten once years before. I still try to stick with ‘normal’ for games…

Listen, sometimes you “get” it and just want to move on with the whole thing. I was playing Psychonauts 2 recently, and while I really liked the game, there was one boss that took me like 3-4 tries, and the whole sequence of defeating it was pretty long and bland, and regardless of how far you made it, you had to…

Negotiation time during normal working hours must be paid by law. They’re just committing standard management fuckery to try and break the union.

This is a very specific ‘90s aesthetic.

So in other words, a regular episode of Babylon 5.

I had a revelation several years back - I don’t want to be my wait staff’s manager. I don’t want to do a performance review and determine their pay every time I eat out. I don’t want to be responsible for their training and I don’t want to spend my meal making a mental checklist of things they did right or wrong. I’m…

The whole study is self reported, so not really worth much. But if you are going to write it up, you don’t really get to choose which self reported data is good or informative and which you decide is worthless because it is self reported.

I have been told on these web pages that they can’t raise prices and eliminate tipping or else people would never eat out because they would be afraid of the higher prices on the menu.
